So its time to saddle up again and head for Dolgellau and I don't yet realise how tough this last part will be. It all starts when I leave Dolgellau, I knew there was a bit of a hill but when you are being propelled by a 2 litre engine you have no real feeling about the never-ending quality of the hills. I would round a corner and see the top of the hill and down my head would go seriously believing that this was the final climb and putting all my effort into it. But there was another top in front of me and the sun was beating down, there was no giving up though and I eventually reached a flat bit with a little hill in the distance. It wasn't particularly steep but I was both hot and exhausted, I walked up most of it. A final push and I was back at the van and a very sweltering van at that! A thoroughly enjoyable day!
Oh, and I forgot to say - this is Cader Idris.
